How to Make Chicken Pontalba

  1. Prepare the Bearnaise Sauce: If using homemade, prepare according to your favorite recipe. If using store-bought, set aside until ready to serve.
  2. Deep Fry Potatoes: Cut 2 lbs potatoes into 1/2-inch thick fries. Deep fry at 375°F (190°C) until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
  3. Sauté Vegetables: In a large skillet, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup diced onion, 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms, and 2 cloves minced garlic. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add Ham and Wine: Stir in 1/2 cup diced ham and 1/4 cup dry white wine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the wine to reduce slightly.
  5. Cook Chicken: Add 1.5 lbs chicken breast (cut into 1-inch pieces) to the skillet. Cook until fully cooked through, about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Combine and Serve: Gently toss the cooked chicken and vegetable mixture with the deep-fried potatoes. Drizzle generously with the bearnaise sauce. Serve immediately and enjoy!
  7. Garnish (Optional): Garnish with fresh parsley or chives for an extra touch of elegance.
